The Colleague Services (CS) and Colleague Product Management (CPM) organization, part of the Colleague Experience Group (CEG) — also known as Human Resources — plays a pivotal role in delivering best-in-class services, capabilities, products, and tools that power an exceptional colleague experience at American Express.

This organization designs, builds, and continuously evolves the products and services that enable both the CEG and the wider enterprise to operate effectively and efficiently. Within CPM, the Systems Management team oversees the end-to-end ecosystem of CEG products, capabilities, processes, platforms, and applications — including partnerships with third parties — while ensuring strong adherence to colleague-related risk, compliance, and governance standards.

The Colleague Business Architecture team provides the structured insight needed to understand how CEG delivers value across its processes, systems, and colleague experiences. The team maintains a clear, cohesive view of CEG’s business capabilities, enabling leaders to understand how work is performed today and where opportunities exist to strengthen or evolve our operating model, colleague facing capabilities and strategy execution.

As an Associate, Business Architecture, the successful candidate will support the Manager in activities that help create clarity around how CEG’s processes, systems, and capabilities operate today and how they should evolve to meet strategic priorities. This includes contributing to the documentation and analysis that underpin our understanding of business capabilities, supporting assessments of capability maturity and alignment to strategic objectives, and helping translate these insights into inputs that inform product roadmaps and investment decisions. Through this work, the Associate will play an important role in ensuring CEG’s solutions are designed and developed as part of a cohesive, end-to-end ecosystem.
